proach? You can then determine the structure
from only the name and vice-versa.
1. Find the parent name by identifying the
longest continuous chain of carbons.
2. Number the parent chain. (begin at
the end of the chain nearest to the first
branch.)
3. If there are two equally long contin-
uous chains, select the one with most
IUPAC rules for naming branced alka-
branches.

4. If the first branch point is the same
distance, choose the one that gives the
lowest substituents.
5. If the substituents are both equidistant
then choose the numbering so the sub-
stituent goes with the higher alphabetic
priority.
